need a steering column recommendation for 1969 blazer
looking to replace my wore out steering column in my 1969 blazer 4x4. I would like a tilt column and I have a floor shifter.
Thanks David |

Re: need a steering column recommendation for 1969 blazer
A factory floor shift tilt is gonna be some big coin. What I did to a van column[the shifter pin hole was wallowed out] so I bought it stupid cheap like $15 bucks or so and then I ground off the shifter "knot" and welded the screw holes from the gear indicator. I did the filler work and got it all smoothed out then sprayed a couple coats of high build primer on it. It is ready for paint and installation. I also welded the gear lever to the shifter tube so it couldn't move then ground off the lever ear. I just don't know if I'll use it cause i'm thinking of changing out two of my trucks to 'matics.

There are bearings at the top and bottom. Might look into replacing them and the other worn bits. Aftermarket is expensive.

I currently do not have a tilt column and it's one for a column shifter so it does me no good to rebuild it

I would first check with Kev from Kevins Classics in Fresno Ca. He is a long time board member and has been doing restos on these tilts for years. He may have one for you.
